Brandi Glanville Revisits Bravo Feud By Christening Her Facial Parasite
Brandi Glanville just gave her face parasite a name and, in true "Real Housewives" fashion, it is petty! The reality star revealed she dubbed the unwelcome intruder "Caroline," a not-so-subtle jab at her longtime rival Caroline Manzo. Brandi Glanville's return to the spotlight follows a rough chapter in her career, one that began when rumors swirled that she crossed the line with Manzo during filming, leading to the early exit that sent her into a troubled spiral. Brandi Glanville Burns Face With Nair Trying To Evict Her Facial Parasite Glanville is taking beauty DIY to a whole new and dangerous level. She shocked fans after sharing a graphic TikTok update on her ongoing battle with a facial parasite, which she nicknamed "Caroline" after longtime enemy Caroline Manzo. In the video, Glanville revealed she used Nair, a hair-removal cream, as a way to exfoliate her skin and annoy the parasite she claims is living in her face. With a deadpan expression, she noted, "When I have an exfoliated face, it pisses Caroline off, whoever's living in my face." The unconventional method backfired, leaving her with visible burns and damaged skin. "She's moved from here to up there," Glanville explained, referencing "Caroline," while zooming in on her cheekbone and forehead. In her caption, she shared a DIY treatment to ease the pain: "Mix up some aloe Vera, cucumber, and black tea. Put it in the freezer. Put it in the spray bottle and once it's cold enough, spray all day." The TV Personality Says 'Housewives' Scandal Ruined Her Life Based on her recent TikTok video, Glanville is not done unpacking the emotional fallout from her time on "The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip." It is worth noting that in April, she made it clear that the off-camera damage runs deeper than viewers might think. In a revealing interview, Glanville opened up about hitting rock bottom after being sent home from Morocco while filming the now-shelved fourth season of the Bravo spinoff. The Blast noted that Glanville said her world crumbled when reports surfaced claiming she behaved inappropriately toward fellow castmate Caroline Manzo, an accusation she flat-out denies. "It's ruined my life. Those [first] six months, I was in a fetal position on my couch, like, contemplating suicide [and I was] being called horrible things," she said bluntly. She also revealed that the backlash cost her more than just her Bravo gig. "All my jobs were canceled," Glanville said, adding that the narrative around her exit moved so fast she did not even get a chance to defend herself before doors started slamming shut. The 'Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills' Alum Says Illness Has Drained Her Finances To make matters worse, as she lost her financial footing, she began to deal with a lingering illness that has not let up. Glanville revealed that she is still battling a mystery illness that has cost her more than just peace of mind. The Blast highlighted Glanville's emotional confession that she is now financially wiped out, having spent more than $113,000 out-of-pocket on treatment after hitting a wall with her insurance plan. "I'm out of funds. I'm out over six figures at this point. I don't have the means to go anywhere at this point. I'm online every day, going down a different rabbit hole. It's exhausting. It's all-consuming," she shared. The Reality TV Star Says Parasite Has Robbed Her Of Sex, Confidence, And Herself The mysterious parasite has not just drained her bank account; it has also stolen the parts of life she enjoys most. Mourning the version of herself she once knew, Glanville noted that her current life was as isolated as during the COVID-19 pandemic. The 52-year-old admitted bluntly, "I miss socializing with my girlfriends and then having sex with men. I'm a Scorpio. I love sex. So, I was having a lot of it, and now I haven't had any of it, and I'm like, 'Have I forgotten how to kiss?'" Known for her outspoken and unfiltered takes, she did not stop there. Glanville confessed that the ongoing health battle has chipped away at her once-solid sense of self. "I've lost myself," she said. "I feel more insecure than I ever have in my life. I don't get anxiety about most things. Some things do give me anxiety, don't get me wrong, but I feel like I lost Brandi." Brandi Glanville's Mysterious Parasite Gets Traced To Morocco Trip After years of confusion and pain, Glanville may finally have some answers, and she is not alone in her misery. Last month, The Blast reported that fellow Bravo star Vicki Gunvalson believes she contracted the same parasite that has been wreaking havoc on Glanville's life. The "Real Housewives of Orange County" alum said the symptoms began after the pair's 2023 trip to Morocco for "Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip." Gunvalson did not mince words. She described the environment as less than sanitary and shared that Glanville's condition is severe, with the parasite moving to different parts of her body and causing intense discomfort. And it has not been easy for Gunvalson either. Medical tests confirmed parasites had overrun her gut, and while both women are still not out of the woods, the likely source of their health nightmare has finally been pinpointed. Clearly, the Housewives drama is not a thing of the past for Brandi Glanville. Solve the daily Crossword

Fans beg Brandi Glanville not to use hair removal cream on her face as she attempts to fix disfigurement
Shocked fans begged not to put hair-removal cream on her face after she burned it as she attempted to fix her facial disfigurement. The 52-year-old RHOBH alum took to her TikTok on Sunday to share a bizarre video of herself featuring burns on her face after using Nair. In the clip she told her followers that they no longer have to spend absurd amounts of money on chemical peels for their face as she had a DIY solution. As there were visible signs of burning and redness on her face, she boasted about the hair-removal cream's effectiveness while admitting that she may have overdone it. She explained: 'So Nair is the fountain of youth, but I overdid it. Seven minutes don't do it.' The reality star went on to explain that she was doing some more DIY beauty methods on her mother Judith Ann Glanville who trusts her. Brandi captioned the video: 'Beauty hacks (this is a good one but do a test patch)I did 7 minutes and I'm on fire sooooioko don't to 7 minutes it also burned the loose skin off my arms & its 7 dollars [sunglasses emoji] mix up some aloe vera, cucumber and black tea put it in the freezer put it in the spray bottle and once it's cold enough spray all day cause I'm in some pain.' Concerned fans took to the comments section of the social media clip as one wrote: 'Chemical burn? [persevering face emoji] I would go to ER.' Another chimed in: 'Wait, did she nair on her face and it burned off her skin and looks like this, this cannot even be real right now. How is she just chilling being fine, I would've lost my f***ing mind looking like that. 'She's so chill about it that her face is burnt off. That's why I refuse to believe she put nair on her face! She probably got a procedure or something and being silly. Because I just I don't even know right now.!! I love Brandi but what!' Another concerned fan wrote: 'I have no words but praying for you girl.' This came just days after she made her priorities crystal clear while delivering a wild health update on her mysterious facial disfigurement on Tuesday. The former reality TV star said she couldn't wait to make out 'with a hot boy or girl' as she listed all she was looking forward to once she overcame her health ailment. Brandi made the revelation as she publicly thanked Dr. Michael Scoma, an infectious disease immunology expert who 'delivers proactive treatments to Long COVID and [Myalgic Encephalomyelitis] ME patients.' Brandi gushed on X: 'I am so thankful to my NYC angel @DrScomaME_CFS for actually wanting to help me get better. I'm finally getting answers!' 'Can't wait to live again (fix teeth, put on 10lbs, and make out with a hot boy or girl). I cannot wait to get out of this house and live!' Brandi continued: 'And then I fall in love again, but I won't let him know it. I won't lose that power, but then I will end up losing the power and will date for three years and it will be over.' Glanville has seen dozens of doctors and claimed steroids, antibiotics, and antiviral medication have all failed to help her. The Traitors contestant has spent over $113K trying to remove the hard lumps on her cheekbone, jaw, and neck which she blames on the COVID-19 vaccine and a mysterious facial parasite caught in Morocco. Haling: The star publicly thanked Dr. Michael Scoma, an infectious disease immunology expert who 'delivers proactive treatments to Long COVID and [Myalgic Encephalomyelitis] ME patients' (pictured July 16) Brandi's The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip co-star Vicki Gunvalson claims to have contracted the same exact condition, which she treats with taking Ivermectin 'twice a month.' The 63-year-old recalled on SiriusXM Tuesday: 'We all got sick when we went to Morocco. 'My stomach's bloated, I don't feel good. I feel tired. Where I'm at now is like, "Why do I always feel sluggish?" I don't go poop. Like, it's very hard for me. It might be once a week, if that.' Vicki added: 'Brandi is in so much pain. She's got a very large moves. It goes into her mouth. It's bad.'

My skin was so dull but I found the best toner to make it hydrated and glowy, you won't find it in the beauty aisle
A WOMAN has shared how she got her skin from dull to glowy with a secret ingredient. Callere took to social media to show off the secret toner, but it wasn't something you'd find in the beauty aisle. 2 2 In the clip, she said: "When you stay consistent and your toner didn't fail you. "A year long, and it's still kicking in." Callere shared her skin before she started using the secret treatment and it was clear it looked dull and lacked moisture. But now, her skin looked bright and more youthful after applying the toner day and night. While many head to the beauty aisle to pick up a toner, Callere made her own at home using rice. She cleaned the rice with water before letting it ferment and turning to a milky liquid. The starchy water left over from rice has been proven to help skin look its best. Rice water contains antioxidants and compounds like ferulic acid and allantoin, which can brighten the skin, reduce pigmentation, and even out skin tone. You can make rice water at home by allowing the rice to soak in water for up to an hour, and then straining it into a bottle. Skincare whizz urges beauty fans to hit high street store for £2.49 spray that works a treat to stop spots on hot days To take it to the next level, you can also ferment the rice water. Let the rice water sit at room temperature for 1-2 days. The fermentation process boosts the levels of antioxidants within the preparation, making it even more effective for skin brightening and healing. It can be stored in the fridge for up to one week. The clip went viral with over 4 million views on her TikTok account @ callmereen107 and people were quick to thank her for the skincare hack. One person wrote: "Finally, found my people who loves the efficiency of rice. For less hassle buy rice flour. You can use it as a mask, iced cubes." "Rice toner and aloe vera plant, effective," penned a third. Biggest skincare trends for 2025 Face The Future's Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025. 1. Exosomes Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they're a gamechanger for targeting ageing. 2. Streamlined Skincare The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we'll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results. 3. Vegan Collagen Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums. 4. The Rise Of AI AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level. 5. Hair Loss Solutions - Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it's no longer just something we're talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health. Meanwhile a fourth said: "So this actually works?" Someone else added: "Thank you."

I'm a stinky girl, my 25p hack will keep you smelling fresh all summer long even on the sweatiest of days
SOMETIME no matter how much deodorant and perfume you put on, the summer heat can leave you feeling sweaty and stinky. But thanks to a budget-friendly hack, you can stay as fresh as ever in the hot weather. 2 TikTok user Laura Valentina (@laauravalentina) showed her followers the DIY technique she swears by that leaves her smelling and feeling refreshed in the heat. And for anyone pinching pennies, don't worry because all you need is two kitchen ingredients. "I live by this life hack," Laura told her followers before going on to describe herself as a "stinky girl". She revealed that her mum taught her to use two household items to combat the summer sweats. These secret ingredients are lime and baking soda, neither of which will break the bank. You can pick up a lime for just 24p from Sainsbury's, while baking soda will set you back 59p. And since you only need a miniscule amount of baking soda, this hack will only total around 25p each time you try it out. In the clip, which amassed 1.2 million views, Laura began by slicing her lime in half and dipping it in baking soda. She waited for it to start sizzling, showing her audience the bubbles that formed. The TikToker described the hack as "the best and better than any soap you will ever find". She advised her followers to use it "to get rid of any stink", revealing that she rubs it on her armpits and "everywhere else". According to Laura, this process helps to "get rid of any stench" but also has other beauty benefits. "It also exfoliates with the little grains of baking soda and for all of my stink girls, it will really help you get rid of that stink," she explained. Laura pointed out that it not only eliminates smells but also leaves you smelling like citrus afterwards. Her followers shared their thoughts on the natural hack in the comments section. Top beauty trends for 2025 Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook spoke exclusively to Fabulous about the big beauty trends for 2025. Haircare Hair gloss treatments are a must-have as beauty enthusiasts love the salon-quality shine and enhanced colour delivered by the trending treatment. Hair glosses are multifunctional, as they nourish the hair while offering a vibrant, healthy-looking finish, combining 2025's core trends. This treatment is perfect for those seeking an affordable, at-home glow-up. 2025 will focus on skin repairing and texture-enhancing treatments. Skincare Rejuran treatment, a celebrity-endorsed procedure, will see a rise in demand this year as many seek to enhance their skin's appearance. The procedure entails injecting polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to enhance skin texture and elasticity. 'Rejuvenation is expected to dominate 2025 skincare trends as many seek to achieve a flawless, youthful complexion. Skincare will also include back-to-basic products for a simplified routine. Ginseng cleansing oil and panthenol cream are among the trending products for 2025. The cleansing oil is excellent for dissolving make-up and impurities without clogging pores and is enriched with nourishing properties to leave the skin feeling and looking refreshed and radiant. Make-up Make-up trends will follow suit to achieve youthful and radiant looks. Under-eye brighteners will be sought-after products for delivering coverage while enhancing natural radiance. This beauty tool will complement natural beauty while improving and brightening dull skin. Make-up looks will be bigger and bolder in 2025 with cluster lashes expected to surge this year. These lashes bring the glam to glamorous looks as they deliver dramatic volume to enhance everyday or special occasion looks. Peel-off lip stains circulated the beauty industry in 2024 and are expected to dominate in 2025. The growing popularity of this product is due to its ability to provide long-lasting, transfer-proof colour to lips, enhancing a natural aesthetic. Additionally, cherry-coded aesthetics are expected to be everywhere this year as the deep, rich hue can be achieved using peel-off lip stains or bold lip looks for a dramatic effect. Nails 2025 will be another year of countless, show-stopping nail trends. Goddess Nails and Aura Nails deserve an honourable mention as these designs channel an ethereal, celestial aesthetic for bold, self-expressing nails. "It also helps to lighten your underarms," pointed out another fan of the trick. "I use key limes and it has officially replaced my deodorant," said another viewer. "The smell is from the bacteria. The lime and baking soda is a great for killing the bacteria and neutralizing the pH," commented a third person. Another TikTok user said they "definitely will use" the homemade hack. "OMG, I've been doing this since [childhood] and I don't have dark spots under my armpits as well," shared another follower.
